Before you go
Entry and visas
With a Bangladeshi passport you need no visa. Relatives and friends visiting on another passport should check Bangladesh's entry rules for that passport when they book and again before they travel.
Health
It is hot for much of the year: drink bottled or treated water, take care in the sun and guard against mosquito bites with long sleeves and repellent.
Money
The currency is the Bangladeshi taka (BDT). Keep cash handy for markets, rickshaws and small shops.
